21CBH: how does the foundation provide assistance for enterprises in Silicon Alley? Where is the directing teacher from?
Gotch: the largest problem for small sized enterprises is that they fail to find the right contactor in the massive banking industry, while financing from foundation can help them to directly locate the critical person. As to the directing teacher, there are two channels available. First is from the executive managers from banks in New York City, and secondly experienced entrepreneurs are also the resource. For this enterprise that is just during their incubation time, teachers coming from above channels will give different directions. Each enterprise will be bonded with three banks, with direct connection from the bank’s CTO or their subordinated teams, for the latter will assist enterprise to solve problems in their 12-month development.
